Venue & travel / Technical tours
Thursday 30 September: see the engineering.
The conference closes with excursions to organisations at the front line of Dutch water engineering, turning two days of sessions into a day on site.
Why a field day
The Netherlands’ water infrastructure, in person.
The programme dedicates the Thursday afternoon to excursions to relevant organisations, putting delegates inside, for example, the storm-surge defences, port systems and treatment infrastructure discussed across the two conference days. Options are being finalised with host organisations and sponsors, including partners in port operations, maritime engineering and coastal defence.
Possible tour themes
Excursion tracks, aligned to the programme.
Final itineraries and site confirmations will be published here closer to the event; tours are expected to align with the symposium’s frontier engineering tracks.
Flood safety & storm defence
Site visits illustrating how Dutch engineers protect land below sea level.
Port & maritime infrastructure
A look inside Europe’s largest port and the systems that keep global shipping moving.
Treatment & clean water
Facilities addressing drinking water security and waste-water treatment at city scale.
Technical tours are limited-capacity and included with the full-experience ticket. Interest is tracked at registration, full itineraries follow as host organisations are confirmed.
